Anime Granny

I rediscovered this video today

(click here to watch on Youtube)
and I realized that I do not own Ghost in the Shell or Akira on DVD. That's criminal. And then my brain went off on a tangent and I wondered, will I still love that stuff when I'm 64? Or 75? And if not, what kind of movies will I like?

I have that mental image of me as a tiny white-haired granny who pops the Watchmen or Ghost in the Shell DVD into her antique player. I'll probably go sentimental over Nightmare on Elm Street because it will remind me of my youth (I saw it first when I was 13). And I'll probably have the same crush on Johnny Depp my own grandmother had on Cary Grant.
